Connect to Rowdy

After your Rowdy account has been activated you will have several options of connecting to Rowdy.

Connect Using FTP

To create a more secure environment, and prevent potential security problems that occur when things like passwords are transmitted across the internet as plain text, FTP (File Transfer Protocol) connections to Rowdy have been disabled by Information Technology. However, SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol) may be used. See Connect Using FileZilla for more information about configuring an SFTP connection.

Connect Using Telnet

To create a more secure environment, and prevent potential security problems that occur when things like passwords are transmitted across the internet as plain text, Telnet connections to Rowdy have been disabled by Information Technology. However, the SSH (Secure Shell) protocol may be used instead. See Connect Using Putty for more information about configuring an SSH connection.
